Jun 18, 2026    Greg Harris, Brent Branchaud, Theressa Harris

What’s the difference between confrontation, exhortation, and encouragement—and why does it matter in your relationships and faith? In Episode 191 of the Rabbit Trail Podcast, we break down how to challenge others with truth while still building them up, and how to receive correction without becoming defensive.


We also dive into real-life examples from parenting, marriage, and church leadership, explore how to discern God’s voice from your own desires, and unpack the dangers of flattery versus genuine encouragement. If you’ve ever struggled with hard conversations or accountability, this episode will give you practical and biblical insight.
